Hi everyone
Yes @saucy mine was itchy skin before I was diagnosed with PV. More than 4 years I have such itchiness until bleed. I was struggling and 4 years before I was diagnosed as a diabetic patient and one and a half year before I was informed that I have PV. So PV started with sugar disease, which is one of the factors. My iron level goes low and they inject iron in me so HCT again increases. I feel always hungry and metabolism works excellent. I am not gaining even if I eat a lot.
